The Portland Trail Blazers are carrying an adequate, if not impressive, 6-5 record 11 games into the 2025-26 NBA season. Their style of play has been described as exciting, vibrant, and fast-paced. Pundits have had good things to say about emerging star Deni Avdija and fourth-year guard Shaedon Sharpe. But not everybody is pleased with […]
Well, at least the court looked nice? This was a game that basically highlighted everything good and bad about this current iteration of the San Antonio Spurs. All the promise and potential coupled with the rough edges that simply must get sanded off before anything of substance can get accomplished around here. They need to […]
The Wisconsin Badgers saw their first player be drafted into the NBA since 2022 this offseason when star guard John Tonje was selected No. 53 overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2025 NBA Draft. He followed Johnny Davis, who was taken by the Washington Wizards with the No. 10 pick in the 2022 NBA […]
Nine months after trading Luka Dončić to the Lakers in perhaps the most ridiculed deal in NBA history, Nico Harrison is now unemployed. The Dallas Mavericks parted ways with him on Tuesday after leaks began springing up about his job security in recent days. The Mavericks are now expected to work with Anthony Davis and […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers left Miami with a greater sense of pride as their reserves stunned the Miami Heat and their fans. They now turn to face Toronto in Cleveland the next night. Who: Toronto Raptors (6-5) at Cleveland Cavaliers (8-4) Where: Rocket Arena — Cleveland, OH When: Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7:00pm EST TV: NBA TV, […]
Well, it appears one reinforcement is on the way. No, Paul George will not make his season debut in Detroit Friday and Joel Embiid’s status is murky at best, but it looks like there’s a chance two-way forward Dominick Barlow could return to the lineup. The 22-year-old’s elbow laceration has healed enough to the point […]
Los Angeles will be taking another flyer on a former first round pick. As first reported by Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the South Bay Lakers plan to acquire Kobe Bufkin. He was selected with the No. 15 pick by Atlanta in the 2023 draft and averaged 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists last year […]
The Anthony Davis snowball started rolling down the hill this week, and it’s finally become too big to ignore. With the Dallas Mavericks finally moving on from general manager Nico Harrison , the Dallas Mavericks’ future has become a hot topic around the league. Many are staring at their win-now roster, wondering how ownership or a new front office management will choose to proceed. Is the plan to continue to build upon Harrison’s shaky post-Luka Doncic plan that centered around Davis and...
The Philadelphia 76ers have assigned Jared McCain to their G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. He is expected to practice and suit up for Thursday night’s game against the Greensboro Swarm, the Charlotte Hornets’ G League team.

The Washington Wizards lost to the Houston Rockets last night, 135-112. Kevin Broom is out today, so I will fill in with his stats-based analysis. I won’t be as great as he is. But I’ll do my best. First, let’s look at the Four Factors. The Good The Bad Washington will have some time off […]
The season has only just tipped off, but Zuby Ejiofor is already impressing draft experts enough to land on their radars. Earlier this week, Bleacher Report and NBA TV draft expert Jonathan Wasserman projected the Johnnies’ star center to be selected by the New York Knicks with the 24th overall pick in his latest two-round […]
Ah, the bad old days. Last night’s ugly 124-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons felt a lot like the Chicago Bulls of the past few years. Handed an opportunity to snap a losing streak against a heavily depleted opponent, they played easily their worst game of the 2025-26 season. After narrowly taking down the San Antonio Spurs with the same lineup, they played down to the makeshift Pistons rotation and faced a double-digit deficit for essentially the entire game. No Cade Cunningham or Jal...

A mysterious team from the west is in town.
There is an unofficial system of checks and balances that exists in the liminal space between NBA players, coaches, executives, owners, and fans. As soon as any piece of that continuum is too far out of balance, order is restored—eventually. Often, it is a player forced to retire due to the inevitable entropy of skill, […]
Another team where they hate their own team, including their stars. Maybe, especially their stars. I like that they give some love to Payton Pritchard. Calling the Celtics follicly challenged is hilarious. It always amazes me how many fans hate their coach. I cracked up at the coping mechanisms like holding their breath to get low oxygen to their brain and making the Pistons uniforms darker blue to pretend they were the Grizzlies. My favorites are in b...
Karma. Juju. Vibes. This stuff matters. It’s hard to put a finger on it, but you know it matters. It’s got to feel right. If it feels wrong, follow that intuition. There are machinations at play that we don’t understand. Whatever your cosmic alignment, you’re naive to assume that cold, hard logic dictates everything. Kyrie […]

The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday. The only surprising thing about the decision was that it came now and not when Nico Harrison told Mavericks ownership that he was looking to trade Luka Doncic back in February, especially considering the return would be 32 year old Anthony Davis. But I guess […] The post The Hornets stand to benefit from Nico Harrison’s firing first appeared on At The Hive .
Even though the Cleveland Cavaliers were missing three All-Stars (to the Miami Heat’s two), they powered through the Heat late and secured a 130-116 win on Wednesday. Miami played its worst stretch of basketball over the final 16 minutes, scoring just 24 points while shooting just 31.0 percent from the floor. As a result, Cleveland […] The post Norman Powell: Heat’s loss against Cavaliers was a ‘very bad’ one appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Trent Alexander-Arnold waxed lyrical about his manager before Real Madrid’s visit to his former club, but things did not go as planned for the visitors.

With Giannis sitting this one out, the Milwaukee Bucks sleepwalked through their game with the Charlotte Hornets, losing 111-100.
